Coming out @ www.psychedelicscience.org

Precon_all is finally citeable! I’m relieved, pleased, thrilled and all other superlatives to present to you our preprint describing the inner workings of the precon_all pipeline for semi-automated non-human cortical surface reconstruction! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/10

I'm planning to write an editorial in @brain1878.bsky.social entitled "If patients only knew". It's about obstacles that slow down or prevent people from participating in clinical studies and the pace of initiating #ClinicalTrials. If you have experience or comments please message me and repost.

Just to be clear this is not something we can tell from this study and any suggestion that it might be seems dangerous to me.

This accumulating process has been obvious since at least 2021. I assumed Labour would reluctantly intervene to help. That they won't almost guarantees that UK academia will become an even more cruel/anti-intellectual place to work, even for those in RG universities. So I'm leaving.

What an absolute pleasure it was to welcome the brilliant @f-geranmayeh.bsky.social for our seminar series at @psychologyuea.bsky.social. Fascinating and important work on using LLMs in stroke. Great speaker :)

If anyone is interested in coming to London to work on interesting computational psychiatry questions feel free to get in touch! 👇

"UPFs affect health beyond the individual impact of high content of critical nutrients – sodium, trans fats and sugar" < This study does not show this. Food that's high in salt, trans fats, and sugar are bad for health. Whether the 'ultra processing' makes any difference to this is unknown.

two points on EHRC advice on trans people's use of public toilets: 1) trans people are being required to out themselves when using loo in public 2) how is it enforceable? What about cis people who don't conform to stereotypical appearance? it's shit. www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

[1/5] I'm very happy to share that our latest paper: “SIM: Surface-based fMRI Analysis for Inter-Subject Multimodal Decoding from Movie-Watching Experiments”, has been accepted to #ICLR2025! 🎉

Come see our poster #61 at 3pm @iclr-conf.bsky.social #iclr2025 surface deep learning for generalising fMRI decoding across different human brains with @dahansimon.bsky.social @gabriben.bsky.social

Fuck the EHRC. Inhumane Trumpian bullshit

From our 'infant sibs' cohorts we are finding increasing evidence for Chronogeneity as a way to view heterogeneity in autism. In other words, different ages of onset may reflect different types of neurodiversity. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our new paper is out in Science. What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons. Congrats Jake! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Incredibly flexible simulator brought to you by the talented @michielcottaar.bsky.social. Can feed arbitrary sequences (e.g. with pulseq) and model lots of microstructure features (diffusion, permeability, susceptibility, MT). Allows multimodal simulations. Fully documented and open. :)

OK here it is, the moment you have all been waiting for! Our advert for 5 posts here at Glasgow: Cognitive neuroscience/psychology. Closing date May 12 - please spread the word www.nature.com/naturecareer...

‘Exodus’ of clinical researchers sparks concern over future of UK healthcare in @financialtimes.com today. Lots of change needed.

🧠 I'm excited to share our latest publication in Nature Communications: www.nature.com/articles/s41... In this study, we explore the computational memory capacity of the brain & how it declines with aging. A big thanks to Mite Mijalkov, all other lab members for their help and amazing collaborators!

Come join us in Exeter :) Two new positions are now open in our growing Psychedelic crew, teaching in both the online and in person Masters. Lecturer: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr... Associate Lecturer: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecr...

I'm very excited to share my PhD work "Motifs of brain cortical folding from birth to adulthood: structural asymmetry and folding-functional links". We identified and characterised the lobe-wise folding patterns using both 1110 young adults (HCP) and 781 term-age neonates (dHCP & BIBS studies). 1/9

Well worth a read .

More terrible news from the UK higher education sector. This is what treating universities purely as businesses gets you.

Really proud of this one - our lab’s first preregistered replication study using layer-fMRI VASO! Tremendous effort by @denischaimow.bsky.social!

🚨 🧠 We have a new preprint out where we studied which brain networks are engaged during mental imagery and self-generated thought. We used a precision fMRI approach along with multidimensional experience sampling (mDES) to get trialwise self-reports from each participant about what they imagined.

This looks great! Excellent work by @davidghaydock.bsky.social et al.

If you work with EEG (and especially microstates) give it a look! 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We argue that this common criticism can be investigated without throwing away microstate analysis by studying microstates in a continuous space (such as a t-SNE embedding, or similar). Note the information lost in the microstate representation!

Ever heard of EEG microstates? Usually defined as cluster centres of topography, the dynamics of MS sequences are referred to as "syntaxes". Our new review discusses syntax methods and show how they could be better associated with the underlying EEG signal: 🧵👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Do psychiatric GWASs find drug targets? Excited to see our work linking GWAS and pharmacological treatments in psychiatric disorders now published in JAMA Psychiatry jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... 🧬💊🎯 Big thanks to @bendfulcher.bsky.social @alexfornito.bsky.social Mark Bellgrove 🧵👇

Nice work @hardigirl.bsky.social - who would've thought, traits do influence our behaviour 🤩

Cool study by @ndosenbach.bsky.social et al. looking at individual prediction of traits in tasks 👇 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... Nice addition to our work looking at the same problem using our state space method in the HCP Led by the amazing @hardigirl.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s42...

In the future we think that #bwas will become more efficient (stable and cheaper) by using tasks and optimising their capacity to seperate trait variance using approaches like this by @leechbrain.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@nealstephenson.bsky.social book "The Fall" (written 2019) seems to capture the logical conclusion of what is happening right now in the US (aka known as Ameristan). If you want a fictional account of where we might be headed it is very much worth a read. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall;_o...

🗣️ Language is widely distributed throughout the brain 🧠 In a recent correspondence in @natrevneurosci.bsky.social, we suggest that there is no 'language network' in the brain. What appears as such is an inevitable illusion created in part by the methods we use. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hi BlueSky. If you have a spare five minutes it would be great if you could check out my new EP. It would be very much appreciated if you did. open.spotify.com/album/2TXCiI...
